Washington (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump signaled Friday he was open to
keeping parts of Obamacare intact despite repeatedly vowing on the campaign
trail to "repeal and replace" the program.
His remarks -- including his comment that he was persuaded by Obama earlier
in the week to take another look at maintaining some of the program -- came
as he has appeared to hedge on other campaign promises just days after
winning the presidency.
Here's a look at a few other areas where President-elect Trump is seemingly
backing away from Candidate Trump.
**** Obamacare ****
Trump has previously called Obamacare a "disaster." But, he told the Wall
Street Journal, "I told him I will look at his suggestions, and out of
respect, I will do that."
In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" that aired later Friday, he
specifically talked about the need to continue coverage for individuals with
pre-existing conditions.
"Yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest assets," Trump told
Leslie Stahl.
Trump also said he'd try to keep the measure that allows young people to
stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26.
"We're going to very much try to keep that. It adds cost but it's very much
something we're going to try to keep," Trump said.
Trump's openness to compromising on Obamacare, however, was complicated
Friday by a shift in the official positions listed on his website.
The Washington Post reported that Trump has revised his health care agenda
to steer it more in line with Republican Party orthodoxy.
The paper said the presidential transition website has been edited to now
include allowing health care workers to not perform acts that would violate
their religious or moral beliefs and to "protect innocent human life from
conception to natural death."
The paper also said the website omits Trump's call to allow Americans to
import prescription drugs from other countries where they are sold at lower
prices.
**** Prosecuting Clinton ****
During the second presidential debate, Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton by
threatening to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate -- and convict --
the Democratic nominee over her use of a private email server.
His campaign rallies were also marked by chants of "Lock her up" as
supporters clamored for Trump to jail his opponent.
Speaking to the Journal, however, Trump seemed to be less committed to the
idea.
"It's not something I've given a lot of thought, because I want to solve
health care, jobs, border control, tax reform," he said.
Earlier in the week, top Trump surrogates Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie
also seemed to back away from the idea.
**** Muslim ban ****
Trump drew outrage last year when he called for a "shutdown" of Muslim
immigration to the US. He later amended the plan, calling for "extreme
vetting" and a shutdown on immigration from countries compromised by
terrorism, but he never refuted his original policy and in July called the
new iteration of his plan an "expansion" of his original Muslim ban.
Appearing on Capitol Hill Thursday to discuss his legislative agenda, Trump
was asked by a reporter if he would "ask Congress to ban all Muslims from
entering the country."
Trump appeared to hear the question but walked away after thanking everybody

他和奥巴马最大的区别是
更大更大的财政赤字, 至少是奥巴马二倍以上。
其他基本小修补。
移民上修理中印合法移民。
经济倒不一定差, 搞房地产的还是能搞些基建的。作秀要远超奥巴马, 希拉里太业余了。
拭目以待.. | A****0
